Oktemberfest 5K
The Oktemberfest 5K takes place in Marshalltown on September 26, 2026, with a course set against historic downtown and the Marshall County Courthouse Square. The route follows paved streets and passes local landmarks, covering 5K (3.1 miles) and finishing near the weekend festival area.
The event is held on the morning of the festival day and brings together runners, joggers, and walkers of all ages. Food vendors, carnival rides, and live music are located around the finish area, alongside other weekend activities.
Registration opens August 14 and closes September 13, with an entry fee of $35. Registering by September 7 ensures a t-shirt and a medal. The organizer provides a community-focused 5K option that takes place before the Oktemberfest Grand Parade passes through town. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
